GI BILL SCHOLARSHIP - POST 9/11
The Post 9/11 GI Bill is the largest investment in veterans’ education since World War II, covering the full cost of an undergraduate education at any public university or college in the country and many private schools for our nation's newest generation of veterans. To qualify for the benefit, a veteran must have served at least 90 days of active duty service post-9/11, or have served 30 days and was discharged due to a service connected injury or illness. Tuition and fee payments can be used at any public or private school but are capped on a per state basis. The monthly living stipend is based on the Department of Defense Basic Housing Allowance (BAH) for the region. The stipend will be pegged to the E-5 with a dependent rate for the zip code of the school regardless of the pay grade of the veteran. Veterans will receive $41.67 per credit, but
31
no more $1,000 per year to help pay for books and supplies.
Reservists will continue to receive a percentage of the active duty GI Bill based on the length of their active duty service. However, this new benefit will allow reservists to accumulate active duty service from multiple tours (more service = higher benefits).
The last and most novel feature of the Post 9/11 GI Bill is that currently serving troops have the opportunity to transfer education benefits to a spouse or a child. To qualify for transferability a service member must:
Qualify for the education benefits themselves. Served at least 6 years Active Duty, National Guard or Select Reserves. Agree to commit to 4 more years of service starting August 2009. Have a spouse or dependent(s) enrolled in the Defense Eligibility Enrollment
Reporting System (DEERS) to transfer benefits to.

Commissaries are an integral part of the quality of life offered to service members and their families. The Scholarships for Military Children Program was created in recognition of the contributions of military families to the readiness of the fighting force and to celebrate the role of the commissary in the military family community. It is the intent of the program that a scholarship funded through contributions be awarded annually for each commissary operated by the Defense Commissary Agency worldwide.
The Scholarships for Military Children Program is primarily funded through the generosity of manufacturers and suppliers whose products are sold at military commissaries, worldwide. We encourage military families to take advantage of their commissary benefits that not only provide a savings of more than 30 percent on the products purchased, but also support the military community through programs such as this scholarship. The purchase of products from these companies funds the Scholarships for Military Children program.
The Fisher House Foundation is honored to be involved with the Scholarships for Military Children Program. Fisher House Foundation provides a "Home Away from Home" near military medical centers for families experiencing a personal medical crisis and is one of the premiere quality of life organizations supporting military families. The Foundation volunteered to underwrite the administration of this program.A minimum of one $1500 scholarship will be awarded at every commissary location where qualified applications are received. More than one scholarship per commissary may be available based on response and funding. The scholarship provides for payment of tuition, books, lab fees and other related expenses.
Only dependent unmarried children under age 23 of active duty personnel, reserve/guard and retired military members, or survivors of service members who died while on active duty or survivors of individuals who died while receiving retired pay from the military, may apply for a scholarship. Dependent children of NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), Public Health Service, other federal or military related agencies or activities, or DoD civilian employees are not eligible unless they meet the above requirement. Applicants should ensure that they, as well as their sponsor, are currently enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) database and that they have a current dependent military ID card. The DEERS database will be the primary method of verifying eligibility.
Applicants must be enrolled, or planning to enroll, in a full-time undergraduate degree program at an accredited college or university in the fall term of 2010. Applicants who have earned an undergraduate degree or who are enrolled in a graduate degree program are not eligible.

FINANCIAL AID - GENERAL INFORMATION (FAFSA)The following programs are supported by the Federal Government and are available at almost any accredited college or university. THEY ARE ADMINISTERED BY THE OFFICE OF FINANCIAL AID at the college, and you should apply directly to that office. Eligibility for Federal Student Aid Programs is based on financial need (except for unsubsidized Stafford and PLUS loans).
There is Federal Financial Aid available - but you need to apply to be eligible. Begin by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form online at www.fafsa.ed.gov or by contacting your school counselor.
There are three types of Federal Student Aid.
GRANTS are financial aid that students don't have to repay. LOANS are borrowed money that students must repay with interest. WORK-STUDY lets students work and earn money to help pay for school.
Undergraduates may receive all three types of financial aid. Not all schools participate in the Federal Student Aid Programs. Also, not all schools take part in all the programs. To find out which programs (if any) are available, contact the financial aid office at the school you plan to attend.
Application Process
You cannot receive Federal Student Aid unless all your information is complete and accurate.
1. Go to www.pin.ed.gov to apply for your PIN (Personal Identification Number). A PIN is required before you can complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid online. By providing an e-mail address, you will receive an e-mail response in 1-3 days that contains a link to your PIN. If you are a dependent student, your
92
parents should request a PIN also, so you and your parent can electronically sign your FAFSA online before it is submitted. Safeguard and remember your PIN!
2. The fastest way to complete your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. A paper FAFSA is available from the Federal Student Aid Information Center (1-800-433-3243) or from your:
o local libraryo high schoolo college or career school
3. One to four weeks after you submit your FAFSA, you will receive your SAR (Student Aid Report). The SAR confirms the information reported on your FAFSA and will tell you your EFC (Expected Family Contribution). The EFC is an index of need that your financial aid administrator will use to determine the amount of federal student aid for which you qualify.
Whether you apply online or by paper, your data will be sent electronically to the schools you listed on your FAFSA. Review your SAR carefully to make sure it is correct and complete.
4. Contact the financial aid administrator at the schools you are interested in attending. They will review your SAR and prepare a letter outlining the amount of aid (from all sources) that their school will offer you.
If you are eligible for federal student financial aid, each school will send you an award letter. The award letter tells you the types of financial aid they will offer and how much you will receive. This combination of aid is your financial aid package.
